Mr. Speaker, I would invite all of the political parties to be mindful when they talk about immigration. The immigration minister already has one strike against him.
At this point, one would think that the Liberals would have learned that when they fail to address problems, they never get resolved. They only get worse.
When the House recessed in December, the federal government owed Quebeckers $460 million for taking in asylum seekers for whom Ottawa is responsible.
Not only did the federal government do nothing, but it told us that it was not an ATM. As a result, the bill is now up to $470 million.
When will the government reimburse Quebec?
